The sub frame was sandblasted and sprayed with krylon semi gloss...... I happened to have 1/2 gallon of POR 15 lying around when I cleaned the firewall and underside so I gave that 2 coats then covered with the krylon. I want everything easy and cheap to touch up.

Awesome build! I would put a McLeod Softloc in it. People will say other clutches are faster, but the McLeod is very tunable and works great. I have a different combo, but we've run 9.65@135 with a McLeod 10" clutch.

McLeod is the plan. Hopefully heading to the chassis shop this weekend. This October I will have owned the car for 20 years. Hopefully I can have it out for the Dutch |

After a lot of curse words I was able to get the headliner installed. The front came out decent but the back, well I have some more tweaking to do. I ran out of time before my chassis guy picked it up.
![]() My original plan was to over cage the car a bit. Installed the inner fenders and radiator support so he could run the bars through the firewall. First time it's seen the sun in 4/5 years. ![]() |

Well...... it appears I have entered chassis shop prison. The floor and rocker have been done for a month now. Although I've received several promises a surprise visit yesterday and the cars not even in his shop yet. It's to bad the guy does good work and I think we've come up with a unique designed for the cage but if there's no progress next week I'm gonna have to pull it...
